On 11 February 2019, following an evaluation by a jury of international experts, the LabEx ParaFrap was officially extended for 5 years (2021-2024).

Following this announcement, ParaFrap launched a call for applications in order to join the best strengths of French parasitology by welcoming new partners into its consortium.

The applications were evaluated independently by the eSAB. Following this evaluation, 9 candidates were selected to join the LabEx ParaFrap.

BASTIN Philippe Institut Pasteur Trypanosoma
CLAESSENS Antoine CNRS Plasmodium
COHUET Anna IRD Plasmodium
GAMAIN Benoit CNRS Plasmodium
GLOVER Lucy Institut Pasteur Trypanosoma
LAURENT Fabrice INRAE Cryptosporidium
LAVAZEC Catherine CNRS Plasmodium
SPAETH Gerald Institut Pasteur Leishmania
TARDIEUX Isabelle CNRS Toxoplasma

 

These 9 new partners join Chetan CHITNIS and Didier MENARD (Institut Pasteur), recently integrated into our network for their outstanding work on malaria, particularly on drug resistance and vaccination, two essential aspects of the new scientific project of LabEx ParaFrap.
